People I pass make some acknowledgement, even those I haven't seen before. Dog walking is usually a common bond, and it's good that some walkers are keen to stop to chat.

I rather think it is a much better photo on a gray day than when you snap the same one neath a blue sky. It is very interesting to read about Big Moor in the history of the Bronze Age.

The 'hellos' remind me that it's been a long time since I had the opportunity to go for a walk in the countryside. In the woods near where my parents lived, people used to say 'hello' as well - and it always took me by surprise, because I was used to city life. Strangers saying hello in the city would seem scary rather than friendly! (Preferably, don't even look at people...)

In Arizona almost everyone acknowledges approaching hikers. In the area around Seattle, people will NOT make eye contact or respond to a friendly hello. They will stare at the ground, the trees, anywhere but at other people. It's very weird in Seattle. There's a term for it, the "Seattle Freeze."

That's one for your photo competition! Also a great idea to use the flash on the sign.
